Carmen Yulin Cruz: “The President of the United States today just on a parade of accolades as if our lives did not matter, as if lives…”

I am begging, begging anyone that can hear us to save us from dying. I am mad as hell because my peoples' lives are at stake. And we are but one nation.

It is your duty to not let 1.3 million people in Puerto Rico starve.

We need the help from the outside world. I am very grateful that the first help has come from New York and from Houston, particularly to the city of San Juan.

This is a stain on the president, with on his presidency, and the world has seen what he's done.
